Gerrard has joined former England teammate Lampard, who was honoured on Wednesday as the fifth player to join the Premier League Hall of fame.
On Lampard induction, He said: “As a young lad I remember just wanting to make it into the West Ham team, and looking up to players like Roy Keane, Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry so to be mentioned in the same bracket as them is a real honour.
“I am very proud and thankful for the recognition. The key for me was practice and hard work. I had a talent for arriving and scoring goals. I had done it in all the teams that I played for but to score consistently over that period in the Premier League was mostly down to my hard work and dedication to constantly improve.”
Bergkamp was also added on Wednesday, joining Manchester United duo Keane and Cantona had joined inaugural inductees Henry and Shearer earlier in the week.
